I normally don't like batman movies, but this was just awesome. Chris Nolan is a phenomenal director and a true visionary. Acting, needless to say, was top notch. Bale dished out an amazing performance. But it truly Heath Ledger who stole the show. He took this movie, and the entire batman franchise to a new level with the most haunting rendition of the joker ever portrayed. The cinematography was just incredible. This was definitely a movie I would see again, but this time at an IMAX.
